I've been traveling for over a month. My life green and wet and all above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Tropical rainforests, montane rainforests, Chenier forests, bayous and beaches. I returned home to a garden wrapped in clutch of winter, being pulled away from fall. Only the garden's pines and Hinokis, cedar and bamboo are leafed. The maples have all laid their blankets and fallen to rest.
